Great scanner

C. Hansen, Amazon

Summary: I purchased this unit to reduce the boxes of papers I have in storage. As my files have grown, I have found it increasingly difficult to find a given document in short period of time. I am also concerned about the security of my documents is this era of identity theft. I purchased the unit to address each concern, but not as a scanner for photos and slides. I plan on purchasing a flatbed scanner for that mission.

Good, but software needs work

Summary: I bought this after reading very strong reviews, but I confess I'm strongly disappointed in the software that comes with the program. Not Adobe, but the ScanSnap software that stands between the machine and Adobe. This software has a strangely DOS or Windows 3.1 feel to it. It won't allow you to save a file with spaces in the name, so you need to use underscores, or do what I do: Let it save it with a date-based name, then do a "Save as" from Adobe and change the name.

It copes easily with different sized documents including business cards and fits easily on your desk without taking up oceans of space.
